The twar which was sparked by a disparaging tweet by the Btv news anchor commenting on Btv’s coverage of the #SONA2015 saying “Omphile Sehurutshe makes fumbling fashionable and the female cohost should quit trying to present #SONA2015 what a disastrous production”

According to Setswana dictionary, Thalosi Ya Medi Ya Setswana, 'ausi' means big sister but it turns out that some parts of Botswana the word has a different meaning.
